Meet Flash!
Flash is a 3-year-old, neutered German Shepherd Lab mix, lovable goofball with a big heart and an even bigger personality. This charming boy is all about relaxation, belly rubs, and soaking up love from his people. Every time you come home, expect a full-on celebration—Flash never hides his excitement to see you!
He’s an active pup who enjoys long walks and already knows a few basic commands, such as “sit,” “off,” and “paw.” He’s been living with two children (ages 1 and 11) and does great with them. However, Flash would thrive best as the only dog in the home, since we’re not quite sure how he does with other dogs in close quarters. On walks, he’s curious about other pups but can be easily redirected with a bit of guidance.
Flash is currently working on his basic training and is picking up good habits every day. He’s a big, slightly awkward sweetheart who’s eager to learn and even more eager to love. Flash is currently house-trained and crate-trained. He will come with two additional prepaid training sessions with our current trainer. One thing to note—he’s not a fan of cats, so a feline-free home is a must.
If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy, and affectionate companion, Flash might just be your perfect match!
